Love isn’t the only thing in the air for New Yorkers heading into Valentine’s Day.
Following record warmth, the city is in for some winter weather whiplash as temperatures dive and snow rolls in on Tuesday, with anywhere from an inch to several inches possible across the metro region.
Meteorologists are keeping a close eye on the potential nor’easter and exactly how much accumulation the city will get, with around 4 inches possible Monday into Tuesday.
“It’s still up in the air,” Fox Weather meteorologist Cody Braud told The Post. “It’s going to be boom or bust.”
The city has been “burned” by recent snowstorms that skirted around the Big Apple, Braud noted.
The city broke a 700-day snow drought with the first storm of the season on Jan. 16 but hasn’t gotten hit hard yet this year.
Tuesday’s accumulation will depend on whether the storm gathers enough cold air as it heads north to change quickly from rain to snow.
“We’re watching the rain-snow line waver back and forth,” Braud said.
Widespread, moderate-to-heavy snowfall is expected from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts.
It should start in the Big Apple around around 4 a.m. Tuesday and continue into the afternoon.

Temperatures will plunge into the 20s overnight Tuesday.
More seasonable temperatures hovering around 40 will return by Valentine’s Day, following dozens of record-breaking temperatures throughout the country in recent days.
John F. Kennedy Airport clocked 60 degrees Saturday, topping last year’s 56. Central Park was short of the record at midday, reaching 57 degrees compared with last year’s reading of 61.
Past Valentine’s Day weeks brought more heart-breaking weather than what is in store this year.
A 2007 blizzard brought 40 inches of snow to NYC and temps plunged to zero in 2016.
